On October 27, 2026, at Government House, Education Minister and Phe Thai Party Secretary-General Prasert Chantararuangthong gave an interview regarding the upcoming by-election for the Member of Parliament seat in Sa Kaeo Constituency 3, which became vacant following the passing of Surasak Chinawan.
Prasert stated that the Phe Thai Party intends to field a candidate for the Sa Kaeo by-election because the area is traditionally a Phe Thai stronghold, and the party's previous candidate maintained continuous engagement with local residents. In the previous election, the Phe Thai candidate secured second place in the constituency.
This upcoming by-election in Sa Kaeo holds strategic significance for the Phe Thai Party as it seeks to reclaim a key regional seat and demonstrate sustained local support, reflecting how political parties utilize constituency strongholds to maintain parliamentary momentum.
The prospective candidate designated for this race is Sorawong Thienthong, the Deputy Leader of the Phe Thai Party. Prasert noted that during recent flooding incidents in the area, Sorawong consistently traveled to the region to assist affected residents and has continuously operated under the Phe Thai banner as a senior party figure.
When reporters pressed whether the party would definitely nominate Sorawong for the Sa Kaeo Constituency 3 by-election, Prasert confirmed that it is the intended direction, pending formal discussion and approval from the party's executive committee.
